Our plans with the SQL API for Modin are to create an interface that allows you to
intermix SQL and pandas operations without copying the entire dataset into a new
structure between the two. This is possible due to the architecture of Modin. Currently,
Modin has a query compiler that acts as an intermediate layer between the query language
(e.g. SQL, pandas) and the execution (See architecture documentation for details).

We have implemented a simple example that can be found below. Feedback welcome!
